What could be worse than an arranged marriage to a vampire prince?

When Luna is sold into marriage to the Prince of Darkness, she thinks she knows what to expect. Arranged marriages happen all the time, right? Wrong. No one could have prepared her for the reality of being married to the vampire prince.

Ever since the day he was Made, Sebastian has been living according to Queen Marguerite's rules. After all, he's only alive because of her. When she orders him to marry and Bind himself to Luna, a human hailing a neighboring kingdom, he has no choice. He agrees to the marriage but never expects to feel anything for Luna.

Insta love that happens over time with a mix of forced proximity. I do like that the time frames are weeks and not just days. There are multiple plots but it seems like all the same goal, the reader just doesn't known what that is. Luna and Sebastian have there different point of views, different understanding and different voices. Solid 3 stars with an extra half a star for the different POV's and timing. It ends on a cliff hanger so I guess I'm reading book 2.

Y’all… y’all. THIS BOOK! Reluctant allies to lovers, the literal definition of forced proximity, shared bed, touch her and d!e vibes. I’m obsessed with this story. Luna and Sebastian are amazing and I love the dual POV. The slow burn is the most exquisite torture ever. I blew through this book in less than 24 hours. I couldn’t put it down and I didn’t want it to end. That ending was so intense! I’m emotionally invested in these two and I can’t wait for Tormented to come out!
